I just don't get it. I mean, how would I fit in to a place like Anoka, Minnesota? (I imagine it's pronounced as Anohkah, Minaysohtah - like Sarah Palin would say it. Not sure why seeing as she's from Alaskaah...)
How would the evangelicals react to me? I know I'd be bullied for sure, but what would they call me. The evangelicals would be so confused....might be kind of funny actually. There I am, walking down the hall...
"Hey, over here, you little...uh....little dyke!"
"Nah dude that's a guy! Hey! Faggot!"
"You sure? I'm pretty sure....oh who gives a shit....HOMO!"
There'd be chaos. Can't attribute a lack of sex to "a form of mental illness caused by family dysfunction, childhood trauma and exposure to pornography – a perversion curable through intensive therapy."
But it's obvious I wouldn't be accepted by them either. Let's face it, my situation, the fact that I don't fit into either male or female category, and the implication that I would therefore have a choice of who to love....it would take a lot of explaining. So what do evangelical Christians do when things get too complicated? Reject and discriminate, obviously! My condolences go out to the victims' families.
And to those kids dealing with the bullying on a daily basis, stay strong! One day you'll get out of that shithole and go to a liberal college and become the coolest kids on campus!! No, but seriously...

P.S. The Kid and I have hatched a plan for the discovery of my inaccessible (but not non-existent!) sexuality. Stay posted.
